Put Others First

I think it’s silly to have two people fuss over a parking space. There are more important things in life to get stressed over.

What would happen if several cars were winding through a parking lot and you allowed the car behind you to take the better and closer spot? The other driver might see you inside the store and be a little more friendly to you than he would have.

A friendliness seed is sown when you do small but important things for others. Most people will allow that small kindness to affect them, and then everyone around them. The seed bears fruit when they respond to your friendliness with a smile or other small gesture of their own.

Today’s goal is: Let someone else have the parking space close to the store’s door while you park farther away.

Most Americans could stand to get a little more exercise anyway. Why not let others have that coveted parking space near the door? We’re actually doing ourselves a favor by walking a bit more.
